In terms of clothing, I prefer Lululemon as it fits me perfectly, is not branded with logos, and stays dry. I typically wear the Drysense Short Sleeve Shirt (M) and the License to Train Linerless Shorts (M). The shorts are perfect because they have zipper pockets to fit your cameras and essentials and the shirt is nice because the fit is slightly longer than others, tight and looks good. Black is probably best because it is most dominant and elegant looking, but I actually love wearing Lululemon’s brighter color options as an anti-emo aesthetic I have been adopting.
The best shoes for street photographers
The greatest shoes that I’ve discovered for walking are the Vibram Five Finger ELX model. They are barefoot shoes that will strengthen your foundation, your feet. Try them out and see how it works for you, and keep on walking!
How I stay warm in the winter?
Staying warm during the winter months is important in order to continue practicing photography. What’s better than owning a Leica? Having a good coat and warm clothes to keep shooting during the cold months.
- Down Jacket: Down seems to be the warmest material for the winter months. I personally use a Canada Goose XL Parka and it is impenetrable from the cold. Other options from Uniqlo are great as well.
- Down vest: Double down? Sometimes it’s good to double down and wear a vest as an under later. Uniqlo and Lululemon have great options.
- Sweater: I use the Lululemon knit sweater paired with a T-Shirt as my under layers.
- Two pants: I wear two pairs of pants. One loose external layer that blocks the wind, and one internal sweat pant layer that keeps my legs cozy.
- Wool socks: I recently picked up a pair of these alpaca wool socks, and they’re extremely warm for the winter months. I pair them with my ASICS Gore-Tex shoes, and they feel great.
- Simple gloves: In order to operate my camera, I keep the gloves simple. Northface E-Tip are gear because they are thin, but just warm enough to keep my going.
